Jacob Ford, DE

Jacob Ford was a defensive end for the Tennessee Titans that was released after the 2011 preseason final cut down.

As of September 13, Ford has tried out for the Lions but remains available.

Ford is listed at 6'4", 250 pounds and has the speed and ability to rush the passer from the end.

Over his three NFL seasons in Tennessee Ford has compiled a total of 90 tackles and 15 sacks.

Although the numbers aren't overly impressive, in comparison to the defensive personnel on the Packers, Ford has has more sacks in three years than the entire totals of Pickett, Wilson, Green and Wynn.

Most alarming is that Ford has accumulated 15 sacks over three years, whereas Ryan Pickett has nine over his 10-year career.

I don't feel the current reserves along the defensive line will generate the desired results. Ford would be the leading candidate to be brought in as a free agent.

Over his seven seasons, Olshansky amassed 254 tackles and 12 sacks while playing for the Chargers and the Cowboys.

Although he is listed as a defensive tackle, Olshansky could easily transition to the defensive end position as his size (6'5", 315 lbs.) is large and would provide matchup problems for offensive linemen the Packers face.

The Packers could benefit from his ability to pass rush as he possesses acceptable speed and knows the game.

Another large individual to clog up the line with B.J. Raji would be nice and he could offer a little relief to the linebackers constantly needing to compensate for the lack of a formidable pass-rushing front three.
